Had to really expand the definition of strike zone last night. 1 team decent, the other not so much. 40 minutes into the game, and we hadn't finished the 1st inning. Finally finished 2.5 innings on the 15 run mercy rule in 1 hour 45 minutes. Had to start calling box to box shins to chin to get strikes.

Been there, done that...I feel your pain.

Be thankful that you had a 15 after 3 mercy rule in place. Here in AZ, we would have to go 5 innings with a game like this!

In FL we currently have only 10-after-5 for HS. I've got a proposal to add a 15-after-3 rule halfway through the bureaucracy. Maybe next year.

Trust me, after last nights 18-3 in the third inning debacle.. it isnt any less painful. but it was shorter... TG for the LHSAA

I was working a womens' league game. They asked me what the top of my strike zone was. I responded the whole ball below the breast. One of the senior players ask me not to start the game until she got back because she was going to take off her bra. :eek:

So I guess the sternum is a bit more accurate.

I would agree.....if I could see it....the sternum, that is :D
